ENS Survey

Adrenal Insufficiency

&

COVID Impact

In conjunction with an international team of advocacy groups for patients with Adrenal Insufficiency, we developed a survey to determine the impact of COVID-19 on people with any form of adrenal insufficiency, to determine if there is a greater risk of adrenal crisis for people with AI during COVID and if those who contracted COVID are at greater risk of severe reactions or residual effects. The survey also is assessing if there was any disruption to regular medication supply, the need and frequency of administration of emergency steroid injection and what challenges this posed.

This survey is being distributed online to practitioners and patients worldwide. It takes, on average, 11 minutes. It is totally anonymous.
